LAWYER GALLANT IN CASE : Objection Not Made to Woman Op- poncnt's Argument. For the first time in the memory of the oldest court attaches, a woman L law er yesterday arsrued a personal " ininrv case before a Jury in Circuit Judee Gantenbein's court. The jury returned a verdict in her favor after beius out two hours. Miss Manche Irene Iangley, of Forest Orove. -with her brother L. I Lansley as associate counsel, was attorney for Sirs.

(Special.) Virtually eliminating other proposed locations for a sugar beet factory, rep resentatives of the Eccles project are back in Eugene for further investiga tion. "I'm here to stay."' said Don Jolley. personal representative of P. S. Bram wcll, promoter, who for 10 days has bcrn ill in Portland. "Klamath Falls and Mcdford propositions have not been satisfactory." Mr. Jolley says that W. L. Benham, cf Portland, owner of the Benham Ir rigation project north of Eugene, is ready to co-operate in the location of the plant. Hundreds of tons of rubbish which up to a week ago littered the gulchea of the city is now buried deep under a coat of dirt. The change Is the re sult of the cleanup campaign inau gurated by the City Council as a meas ure of relief for unemployed men with families. Every aay for a week a gang of from 80 to 100 men has been at work with hoes and shovels raking all the tin cans 'and rubbish into the bot tom of the gulches and covering it with d i rt. The work was given only to men with families In need of employment. when announcement was made that the work was to be given there was a rush of applicants. Before the end of the week fully 1500 men put in applica tions. The Council had only appro priated $2300, so it was impossible to give all the applicants work. During the week about 500 men were employed. Some got two days' work, while others only got one. For their labor the men were paid 53 for a day of eight hours. Alex Donaldson, superintendent o" the street-cleaning and sprinkling bu reau, who had charge of the men, re- orted that they all worked hard and accomplished a great deal. He said he has not had such willing workers in a jong time. The work given them was hard and tiresome, particularly In fao of the fact that many of them had not worked for a long time. The main part of the. work was done In MontaviHa and in Marquam Gulch .South Portland. In Marquani Gulch there were hundreds of tons of rub bish scattered about the sides of the gulch and In the bottom. This was all raked to tho bottom of the gulch and covered with street sweepings. The O.-W. R. & X. Company co operated in the plan by putting men to work cleaning the right of way In Sul livan's Gulch. This cleanup was for the benetit of visitors coming to tfTe city over the O.-W. It. & N. main line. which extends down Sullivan's Gulch. The cleanup is to be followed by campaign to prevent the littering up of the gulches again. Persons dump ing cans or other rubbish into the gulches which have been cleaned up will be severely dealt with if they are caught. The cleanup was put through by the Council partly as a part of the city beautiful campaign and partly to give needy unemployed men with fami lies temporary relief. Yd. v f "e K- I A COUNTY COULD TAKE LEAD Grange Hears Explanation of Plan to Hard-Surface 7 1 Miles of Highway Result Big Asset to County and City. SALIENT POINTS IX MR. YEON'S ADDRESS. Seventy-one miles of hard-surface county roads to be built with the proposed bond issue of $1,250,000 will be a tremendous asset to Multnomah County and Portland. Completion of the Columbia Highway and the East Side con necting roads will bring to Port land approximately $1,500,000 in additional traffic. The cost to the taxpayers will be approximately 37 cents per $1000 worth of property in this county and Portland will carry most of the burden. ? Building macadam roads for ' heavy traffic of modern condi- J tions called waste of money. FESTIVAL COLORS STAT C HA IK MAX JACOB KANZLER HAS PLAXS FIXED. General Scheme of Decoration AVlll Be Combination of Floral, Klaa; and Garland Effects, lie Sax. Upon tho recommendation of Jacob Kanzler chairman of the festival com. mittee on decorations, official colors of the 1915 fiesta will be red and white. These colors were used last year and were found to be popular, especially since so many red and white roses are used in the various schemes of floral decorations. While the festival is yet 90 days away Mr. Kanzler has his plans for the decoration of the business district well In hand, and in an interview yes terday said: The decorations of the downtown dUtrlct and portion of Grand avenue on the Eaft tde will embrace the combined efforts of building owners, merchants and three de partments ot the Rase Festival Association, namely, the committee on decorations, festi val center and music. The plans of the three departments naturally are inseparable. for the scheme of street decorations must lead to the festival center. And as music is to be one of the dominating features. grandstand for musical concerts will be placed at frequent Intervals over the entire decorated business districts. The general scheme of decoration will be combination of floral, flar and garland effects, distributed along the business streets of the city. It Is planned to feature one or more of the main streets running north and south. The streets best adapted for this purpose are Third and Sixth streets, the latter be cause of Its direct connection with the de pots and freedom from streetcar traffic, the former because of its permanent and at- rartlve electrically lighted arches. No final decision, however, has been reached. The endeavor of all forces will be so to decorate our city that our visitors will leave with the conviction mat Portland Is the Hose City of the world. v It i 1 r N -as- & ,4t this month for his annual Inspection of the local properties of the company. Mr. Clark comes to Portland at least once a year. Last year he vas here for more than a month. It Is his custom on these regular visits to arrange with the local officials for financing the company's business through the follow ing fiscal year. The annual budget al ways is prepared while he is here. It is probable, however, that the budget this year will call for none other than the regular operating expenses. No extensive improvements are con templated. On account of business de pression, coupled with the invasion of a competing company . in the light and power field and the. Inauguration of jitney service to compete with the street railway lines, it is probable, too, that the operating charges will be kept to the lowest possible minimum. PEOPLE ASKED TO HELP KIRKME- MiKD 2-YEAR-OLD HOSES TO DKCORATE. Auto Presented to Pastor. Rev. W. G. Eliot. Jr.. pastor of the Church of Our Father (Unitarian), is now the possessor of a new automobile which he uses in his pastoral work The car was presented to him by mem bers of his congregation and he thanks those members by a letter appearing n the March number of the Unitarian Bulletin. The minister says that he feels sure his usefulness as a pastor will be greatly enhanced by the use of the car. CAR INSPECTION IS DUE Year's Finances for Kail way Com pany to Be Arranged. E. W.

Reports that the police morals squad is to be changed once a month are without foundation, according to Mayor Albee. "No change in the morals squad is proposed." said the Mayor yester day, "it will go on just the same In the future as It has in the past. State ments to the' effect that there is to be a different morals squad each month are without truth." Principals Hear Memory, Expert. The Portland Principals' Association held its regular monthly meeting yes terday at the Central Library.' David M. Roth, memory expert, gave a lecture on the art of memorizing and per formed some tests. A. J. Prideaux, principal of the Woodstock School, who underwent an operation for appendi citis a short time ago, resigned as sec retary of the association. Beat of Cure Will Be Taken of All Bushes Donated, Soya Chief Dcw - ell of Fire Department. B. F.' Dowell, chief of the Portland fire department, . after a conference yesterday with Julius L. Meier, gen eral . chairman of the city beautiful committee of the Rose Festival Asso ciation, has issued a public appeal to the people of Portland to assist the firemen in their efforts to beautify the grounds surrounding Are stations, es pecially in the residential districts. Each year the decoration of the Are apparatus for the floral parades has been a feature that has won much ap plause along the crowded thorough fares and Chief Dowell says his men greatly appreciate the interest rose growers take in supplying (towers to the various companies. This year it will require two-year-old rose bushes in the work of beauti fying and Chief Dowell says if Port land residents have bushes from which to donate for this purpose he will have his men call for them and they will re ceive the best of care. Chief Dowell yesterday Issued the following appeal to Portland people in behalf of this work: Portland, March 8. 1013. To th(! People of Portland Inasmuch as the appropria tions for the fire department do not cover the purchase al this time of rose bushes for the decoration of grounds surrounding fire stations in the residential districts, the fire department gladly will receive such dona tions of bushes (or this purpose, and if Port land residents will notify the department by telephone, or call the Rose Festival com mittee and leave their addresses, where bushes may be secured, we will call for them, take the best of care of the bushes and thus assist in the work of city beauti-flcation. I mieht request that Portland residents contribute. If they so desire, to the stations in the district in which they reside. Engine house numbers are 2, 10, IS, 2U, -7, 7, B, 3l ana Ji ana iireooats l and z. The firemen are eager to assist In this work and will take good care of all rose bushes do nated lor this worK. In his address yesterday afternoon before Evening Star Grange, South Mount Tabor, J. B. Yeon gave an anal ysis of tho proposed ?1. 250.000 bond Issue It Is proposed to make to hard surface certain trunk roads in Mult nomah County, and set forth the ad vantages the county and Portland will reap. It will place Multnomah County In the foremost ranks of the country to lay 71 miles of hard-surface road, declared Mr. Yeon, and will return in cash to the people the actual outlay In the Increased travel to Portland of tourists, who will be attracted by the Columbia Highway and other high-class roads. Mr. Yeon gave figures to snow that the annual income that would result to Portland alone through the completion of the Columbia Highway would run up to JliOO.ooo annually. "It is planned to issue bonds to the amount of 1.2o0,000 this year to com plete the Columbia Highway, hard-surface the Base Line. Powell Valley, Sandy, Slavin, Linnton and tho Can yon roads," said Mr. Yeon. "This will mean the construction of 71 miles of first-class hard-surface roads and place Multnomah in the front ranks in this country in high-grade roads. Mnu of Money to Go for linnor. "These bonds will run ten years and rviii cost the taxpayers 37 cents on fho J1000 of uroDertv he may own. This sum will be expended mainly at home, for SO ner cent will be for laDor. "We have made careful investigation and have ascertained that it would be a waste of money to continue to build macadam surfaces on the trunk roads in this county. Wherever we have gone we have been told, 'Don't do It. It costs 18000 to build the macadam roads and 11000 a mile to maintain them under .1, t-omonrinn wear of modern tramc. Multnomah County must not repeat the mistakes of the past nor the mistakes of other localities in roau Duuunib. "In King County, Washington, they have built 45 miles of fine brick roads through the Puyallup alley at a. cost of 000 per mile, with the result that th growers realize $1,250,000 on their berries annually, and the dairymen o Ann nnn Thev have 30,000 cows.

"The Columbia Highway Is one of the greatest assets uw Portland can have. It is the greatest scenic road in the world. If you have any doubt on this subject, don t take my word for it. but next May go out ihere and see for yourself that what 1 sav is true. , "We are charged with building i j x-v,i- is further from truth The Columbia Highway la the roadway for the farmer and the auto mobile owner as well. Completed to The Dalles it will bring to Portland the automobile traffic that now stops at The Dalles. While at Baker City recently I found that the people have a great interest in the Columbia High way They told me that when it was finished to The Dalles they would come to Portland to spend their vacations. And thousands who now go to Cali fornia will come to Portland. Of 1000 machines that stopped at a garage at The Dalles last year all would have come to Portland had the Columbia, uip-hwov heen finished. At least five! passengers came in each car and each passenger represented an expenditure of ?3 a day. It can be seen that a great sum would be spent in Portland by these passengers. Many Acres to Benefit "It is not planned to hard-surface roads that only accommodate a few nni hut thu trunk roads. This Co- u.mhii Hlsrhwav and these hard-eur ace ronds on the East Side and east f Banrtv River will benetit many, There are 30.000 acres adjacent to the o that will receive direct Deneiii. ,tvi hrd-surfaclng of the highway and the other roads to Portland. With these roads paved no more road bonds will be needed to continue me worn in future, it win oe a i. right direction, and our roads will be great assets for Portland, which will pay the main portion of the interest nn th road honds." Mr. Yeon closed his address with the statement that the petitions for the bond issue will be out for signatures the coming week, and that it is nec essary to work rapidly in order to start laying the hard-surface roads at the earliest Dossible date. He answered Questions at the close of his talk. Mr, Yeon received much applause when he had concluded. WHILE the entire W damage and in convenience of the re cent fire in my office is not entirely remedied, our patients are being cared for as usual and all will be waited on promptly and efficiently. Patients are asked to co operate with us in keeping their appointments as promptly as possible and thus help us during the temporary inconvenience. I wish at this time also to thank those who in various ways assisted us in the work of re suming business after the fire. The misfortune is not great and in a few days will be a thing of the past.

The number of receipts Is. sued so far was 1738 less than at the same time last year. Reduction In the tax rate this year will account for some of the deficiency, said Mr. Huckabay, but the receipts show that -payments are not coming in as fast.
